Personally I don't care for Invictas - they are kind of a love/hate watch, and though their owners justifiably enjoy them, most watch afficionados look down on them.

The thing is, the 9937 is a quality watch, but it's essentially a complete ripoff of a Rolex Submariner. IF I were buying an Invicta (which I doubt would ever occur), I think I'd save my money and get an 8926. Admittedly it has a poorer Miyota movement (the 9937 has a Swiss ETA) and mineral crystal (the 9937 has sapphire), but frankly if I were buying what I consider an imitation watch, I'd rather spend $99 than $300-350. This will sound odd, but although I think the 9937 is a good value for its feature set, it is too much money for a Rolex knockoff IMO, and I'd rather spend the same money and get something original. Hell, for that money you could get two wonderful Seiko divers.

interesting.. how much was it?

btw, I REMEMBER THAT POEM (quote by Yeats)!

This watch would run around $450 if built up by Bill Yao - I got it secondhand in essentially new condition for $280 shipped.
